Fried fish is one of the simplest recipes we prepare in Cuba as well as one of the most delicious.
There are many ways to cook fish such as fillet, sliced, ceviche, grilled, steamed or baked, but there is no doubt that making it fried highlights its flavor at a high level which it is impossible to resist.
For this reason, today we invite you to prepare our homemade recipe of whole fried fish.
Remember that in this case it must be a fresh and small or medium sized fish to fit in the pan in order to be able to be cooked properly.
If possible, use canola oil for frying, as it is mild in taste and more heat resistant, perfect for this recipe.

How to prepare Fried fish
The first thing we will do is prepare and season the fish, for this we make 3 or 4 diagonal cuts on both sides.
Then we add the juice of the lemons, the crushed garlic cloves, the salt and pepper. Let it rest for 10 or 20 minutes so the ingredients can penetrate better and get a more delicious flavor.
Finally, in a pan with enough hot oil (so that it can cover the fish) we let it fry until it is brown on both sides. Take it out and place it on a dish or plate, drain the excess grease using paper towels.
